Can ovarian cyst cause infertility?
Ovarian cysts can be associated with infertility and irregular menstrual bleeding in some women, but the good news is, they are easily treatable. In a lot of women, they can even be functional or asymptomatic, and are often diagnosed as an incidental finding during diagnostic tests done for other reasons. Lower abdominal pain is the most common sign; it is important to watch for *acute, debilitating pain* often accompanied by nausea or vomiting, as those can be signs of a ruptured cyst. Depending on the type of cyst (follicular, hemorrhagic, dermoid, endometrioma, etc.) and the symptoms you are having, your doc can offer you advice and treatment options based on what's right for you, ranging from medications to surgery. Good luck and feel better. |
